Gonzales says judges should "defer to will of Prez"

I saw this story on CNN. As far as I can tell, an "activist judge" is anyone who disagrees with the administration - they certainly don't apply that label to Antonin Scalia, regardless of how well it fits. Apparently Gonzales has never heard of "checks and balances" - he should go back to his HS government class.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Attorney General Alberto Gonzales says federal judges are unqualified to make rulings affecting national security policy, ramping up his criticism of how they handle terrorism cases. In remarks prepared for delivery Wednesday, Gonzales says judges generally should defer to the will of the president and Congress when deciding national security cases. He also raps jurists who "apply an activist philosophy that stretches the law to suit policy preferences."
